Tied with Mansoor Delane with Most forced incompletions, SEC CBs in 2025, but Ricks gave up 655 receiving yards this season (per PFF), the most in the SEC and seventh-most nationally. No Aggie player has allowed more receiving yards in a season since Charles Oliver (664) in 2018. Ricks surrendered 6/115/1 vs. USC, per PFF. Vogel: "Good man coverage ability. Attacks the catch point and the hands very well. Stays very well in phase. Finds the football well downfield.".
